Compare Roomba 980 with:

The Roomba 980 robotic vacuum is able to work for up to 2 hours, automatically recharge, and continue cleaning on its own. It features the iAdapt 2.0 Navigation and Visual Localization, which allow it to clean all the surfaces of your home. The Carpet Boost feature and the AeroForce Cleaning System allow this model to clean rugs and carpets effectively.

Navigation A good navigation system means that the vacuum easily moves around your home, avoiding obstacles, stairs, corners, furniture, and more, while navigating from room to room. This is done through a form ... Show more

Roomba 980 uses a high-efficiency cleaning pattern that uses its built in camera with advanced computer vision algorithms, this is wifi operated, that records the places/surroundings around the house. Once it bumps into something it will in just a few seconds it will processes if it is an obstacle or something that needs to be avoided. The downside is that it does not work in total darkness since it is using its computer vision to navigate throughout the area. Another downside is that it requires app from your phone (compared to using a physical remote) that needs to be downloaded.
